Overview
- The survival drama opened in theaters on December 12, 2025.
- Joe Carnahan directs the adaptation of the 2009 Gulf boating ordeal, with Zachary Levi as Nick Schuyler alongside Quentin Plair, Terrence Terrell and Marshall Cook.
- Production centered on rigorous water‑tank shoots in Malta that the cast describes as physically and emotionally taxing.
- Early reviewers commend the film’s respectful tone and committed performances, especially Levi’s, while flagging awkward CGI and cutaways to Coast Guard sequences that weaken momentum.
- TheWrap offers a more critical view, citing clunky exposition and an uneven lead performance even as it finds stretches of immersive sea-bound filmmaking.
